What an experience blood work was today! Seriously, I was going to come on here and go off about how awful it was but it was a good thing the second part happened because it made up for the horrible customer service they had at the beginning.
Pops and I head on over to the office to get my blood work done. After walking up the slight incline, that felt like a mountain and going down to the office, we saw that the lady who draws blood was on lunch till 12:30. We had arrived around twenty five after so we figured no big deal waiting five minutes until I get the blood work done. Mind you last time we went I had the pleasure of getting Miss Sunshine as the person who drew my blood. The lady who had ZERO personality and was not friendly at all. To say I was looking forward to the appointment is a huge understatement because the lady just was not nice. Dad and I were cracking jokes the whole time getting to the appointment, but waited patiently enough for 12:30 to ring the bell so her lunch break would be done and I could get the work done.
At 12:30 we rang the bell, only to have Miss Sunshine appear at the window to tell us she is on her lunch till 1. My dad's replied that there was a sign on the window saying she was going to lunch until 12:30 and she said with such NICE grace that it had been really busy in the morning so she was going on her lunch now and she would be back at 1. Once she left the window to have that ever so important lunch, Dad and I looked at each other like what do we do now. It was a struggle for me to get down in the office, and there really isn't much I could do to kill time, so what the hell are we supposed to do in an empty office for a half hour.
Luckily Dad had to go to the store real quick so we went on the opposite side of town to accomplish that and then BACK to the office to attempt to get my blood drawn again. Now I was pissed, I have to get my blood drawn by some bitch (sorry Mom and other friends for the language but it's the best word to describe her) who gave me attitude not once but twice when I'm the one sick. It boogles my mind that someone who has to deal with sick people all the time can be so rude. Anyway, I was not looking forward to going up the mountain again, not looking forward to seeing the evil woman. And as we pull up to the office, there is an ambulance because I mean that would be my luck.
We go down to the office again and there ARE PEOPLE THERE. Now I am pissed because now there is a line when all I want to do is have it done and over with the first time we went there. We sit and wait, again, with the other people in the waiting room and a doctor came in asking who needed their blood drawn, forcing me to quickly raise my hand. LUCKILY, the lady who was drawing my blood was a different woman who was the sweetest lady in the world. She said she hoped to give me the numbers I wanted (which is 2.5) and that she normally has good luck with getting people what she wanted. I really liked her, she was so nice and personable, just the type of person who should be dealing with patients.
Anyway, now we wait to hear what the doctor says about my blood levels. I feel like this whole thing has turned into a waiting game which has gotten entirely too boring for my liking. But I guess if it's making me better I shouldn't be complaining.
Oh and after all the headaches from getting my blood drawn, as I was getting settled back into my royal bedchamber, there was a ring at the door. I got more flowers from one of my best friends. I am entirely thankful. They look absolutely beautiful and are sitting on my nightstand for now. I may have to more them though for the beverage table. That is highly important in today's world.
